  • Light Years and Time Travelby Brian Clegg

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002; US$ 24.95

    PRAISE FOR LIGHT YEARS AND TIME TRAVEL "This immensely likeable work of pop science traces 'man's enduring fascination with light,' from Aristotle's plans for a death ray (burning enemy ships with a giant array of mirrors) to a recent experiment that seems to have sent Mozart's 40th Symphony faster than light, and thus back through time. Clegg is very good at explaining the bizarre properties of light." -The Guardian "A fascinating book on a fascinating subject. It brings together all aspects of light in an unusual and compelling manner." -Sir Patrick Moore "Light's properties often seem mysterious to the point of being unfathomable. Yet in this extraordinary book, Brian Clegg manages to explain them through the lives of those so fixated... more...

  • Brief History of Light, And Those That Lit The Wayby R J Weiss

    World Scientific 1996; US$ 61.10

    From Leonardo to Oppenheimer, from candles to lasers, from cave drawings to cinema, from Stonehenge to quantum mechanics, from Genesis to the Big Bang, light has filled our thoughts, our way of life, our aesthetics, our technology, and our means for survival. Richard Weiss leads us along these paths over the past 500 light years. The way is lit by pioneers such as Rembrandt, Einstein, D W Griffith, Newton, and Heisenberg. A Brief History Of Light, And Those That Lit The Way is a summer's day roller-coaster ride through five centuries of man's achievements in understanding and manipulating light. Readership: General. more...
